## Resource

In this episode of the Take5IRL podcast, hosts @Jeff and @Mike share their experiences working with two different medical device companies—each navigating agile transformation in its own way. They reflect on the key differences between the two clients, including how they approached sprint durations, testing cycles, and approval processes. The conversation highlights what made each engagement successful and explores the lessons learned along the way. As they compare these real-world examples, Jeff and Mike also discuss how agile practices must adapt to the unique demands of the medical device industry, where regulation, compliance, and risk management are central. This episode offers valuable insight for anyone working to implement agile in highly regulated environments. #Take5IRL #agilityIRL #AgileInHealthcare #MedicalDeviceIndustry #AgileCoaching #AgileTransformation #RegulatedAgile #ScrumInMedTech #AgileCompliance
